oh hell yeah, pull the whole engine with the ECU harness pulled through the firewall after disconnecting it from the ECU. I'd move the a/c compressor and lay it on the pass fender well. If you can pull the engine/tranny/tcase combo as one...

i printed it out on the color printer at work!!

I'm going off of my memory at work but I thought there are rubber tips on top of the adjustable pegs! I was thinking these tips are worn through, which has created the extra play.

that's a fantastic pic BTW.

The oil level sensor is not on the front but more towards the rear so when pointed steeply down hill the light will illuminate.

Thanks. I have made a half-dozen different odd items (it would be difficult to call them tools) to help here and there. The part of the project that has required the most of these odd helpers, were the piston return springs along with their...

The upstream O2 sensor has nothing to do with the P420 fault, only the downstream O2 sensor. These sensors don't go bad frequently but hopefully you're GTG. Still, don't hold your breath!

P0420 usually points to dirty cats from running improper AFRs over some time. Unless the cats are blown out and you can see daylight through them, the precious round bits are probably coated with crud. Folks on YT have vids on how to clean your...

i bet the rubber tips are gone now due to age!

shoot dang man, I'm very impressed with your tenacity. I've done everything except the 343F and hope to do that someday as my bands are wearing down I'm sure. I hope you can find the time to reflect on this project and tell us about any special...

doesn't Marlin crawler do this type of work? They're in Fresno so not SoCal per se. East Coast Differentials is another resource for mailing in your diffs or do an exchange.

did you take the tranny apart and now reinstalling pieces as a DIY? If so, holy cow dude, that's badass!!!

Oh yeah, that is correct, and he also only accepts envelope full of cash due to new IRS ruling that went into affect couple of years ago. Bummer all around.

My 1990 Benz 300E and 1992 Subaru SVX have windows that haul butt. I'm not buying the 30 yr argument from anyone.

well, that's indeed perplexing.

the oil level sensor is near the front which was raised way up in the air so it makes sense the indicator came on.

if you're ditching the ABS, I'd toss this LSPV as well!!

Another resource is to ship your 3rd to Zuk. He freshened up my rear 3rd with ARB few years back. I wanted all new bearings, and new set of 4.56 R&P at the same time. The previous pinion bearing race spun on the pinion shaft so that made that...

i don't think you can remove the backspacers with your current tire/rim combo due to rubbing while turning. I see you have caster correction by way of dropping the front radius arm mounting solution. These will need to come off with lower...

This one is interesting to me as well. Why are you on bump stops with brand new springs. If the front end of your 80 is totally stock with no bumpers or winch, then you shouldn't be on bump stops! Can you tell us what are the paint color on...

I drove by it when people were stuck on both sides. I really wanted to drive across, then drive back and keep going home but I haven't downloaded my snorkel app in this phone yet.

I saw video of Tijeras Creek over flowing.

Thought i'd jump on this thread with the gnarly hail storm we had sat night. My shade sail now has a permanent pregnant belly! I shoved Beastie's hood under it but it's permanently stretched now. I'm guessing 200# of hail got caught, and of...

could that be lava rocks? That area has lots of lava rocks and that is a rather large field of lava rocks i suppose.

Let me a screenshot of the black are you mentioned pls
